PASA:
Performance Art
Friday, August 1 / 7:00 pm / Suggested Donation: $5.00

Elisa Urtiaga hosts Pasa, an ongoing series of performance
art. Pasa, Spanish for “it happens” happens monthly at Minás during Hampden’s
First Friday Celebration.
Performers include:
Giselle Bailey, a recent MICA graduate. Her piece, Hot
Shot, is inspired
by the reggae album cover art of the 1970's and Jamaican movies like "The
Harder They Come". This era of Jamaican pop culture, influenced by American
TV, used the iconic Wild, Wild West motif to tell stories. The performance
will feature cool props like a lasso made out dreadlocks.
Adam Gray, who wouldn’t be without his TV for even a minute. His piece,
To Be Forget To Think Then…examines the relationship between memory
and presence, and aims to land at the moment where they coexist as a whole.
The Audience, who will perform Brush, a participatory, yet hygienic exercise.
The audience is cordially invited to bring a toothbrush, toothpaste, a bottle
of water, and a jar with a lid to spit in. (The jar can be painted on the
outside so their spit may be more discreet but that is optional. Floss is
also optional.)
